- Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2016 | We'll tour Romania's vibrant capital, Bucharest, with its "Little Paris of the East" architecture and lingering reminders of a brutal communist dictator. Then we'll head into Transylvania, where we'll visit fortified churches, cobbled merchant towns like Sighișoara, and castles made famous by an imported German king and the real-life Dracula. Finally we'll explore Maramureș, where everyday life still feels like an open-air folk museum. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #romania

I once had Romanian neighbors move into my neighborhood and they happened to be some of the most compassionate people I ever met. They introduced me to new dishes, new linguistics, taught me about their culture and experiences. They were so family oriented as well and every single one of them had respect for their elders and were truly good folks. They ended up moving years forward but I was able to run into one of the older sons named David at a grocery store many years later and had the chance to catch up and everything. Romanian people have a special place in my heart
Much love.
Wonder why they moved ?
Born of Romania, was adopted very young! Now I live in the USA. This made me tear up. Proud Romanian!!!!!!
Hello to a proud romanian girl from USA. :)
I'm an romanian guy who come in USA with work&travel program.All I have to say is that this video make me cry and I'm proud to be romanian!
Discover your own country and visit it!(You see that deserve to be visited and it's very cheap to do this)
Hello
Hello 👉🙋♂️🙋♂️👉🏃♂️🏃♂️🙌👄
I'm born and raised in Romania, immigrated to America 11 years after the Revolution of 1989. I'm always appreciative of both countries that made me who I am. But I can't afford to retire in the USA (esp because my contributions to the retirement started quite late in comparison with Americans), so, I'm investing early in Romania.
Come visit, you'll love it! And perhaps learn a bit more about your ancestry.
we as Indians are grateful to Romania and her people who are helping us in times of need...THANK YOU from India...
Well I don't think romania ever helped us. 😅
@@nischaymiglani2617 change your thoughts...
Bilateral political relations between India and Romania are warm and friendly. The two countries were brought closer together in terms of values and aspirations after the communist regime was overthrown in 1989. It's not long ago, if you think about it, and Romania struggled for a very long time to escape the poverty and isolation caused by the former communist regime. Romania did helped the Indians in need whenever possible, especially those escaping the war in Ukraine. Romania took in all the Indians that asked for help, provided them with accommodation, food and everything else needed, at no cost.
India is friendly with all nations of the world❤️
I'm learning Romanian not to become fluent but as a fascination. Such a beautiful language and I'm slowly watching videos about Romania. Seems like a unique country with its own beauty. Salut romana❤
Well the good news is that, if you ever visit, we both tend to speak English pretty well, and are also quite excited to teach Romanian to foreigners, particularly dirty stuff 😂
Just sad that Romania is having this negative image worldwide. Forget for just one second about politics and look deeper into the country. I was really impressed. Romania has indeed a brighter future. Greetings from your smaller sister, Bulgaria.
Yani L It’s mostly by other Europeans most Americans that I know I most people that are from other parts of the world usually think good things
Maybe Bulgaria is small (at the moment) but it is as unique and interesting as Romania. Im Romanian and i visit Bulgaria every summer (my best friend lives there)... I can tell that the future will be bright for some of the balkan nations (Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, etc). Respect from Romania to you, Bulgarian brothers
No harm done Bro... it's better this way, trust me. Otherwise... they were all over us by now! Especially the migrants!
Yes, we have a great future, that's for sure! Both our countries.

We aren't like brother and sister. The Romanian language is a Romance one while the Bulgarian one is a Slavic one, but we can call ourselves friends.

Romania is one of the most underrated countries in Europe. It's cheap for travelers, has beautiful sights, and a rich heritage and culture.

Oh thanks!:)
I hears Dracula is still there. Make Romania great Again orange man 👨
It's a different world. so calm and peaceful. its like medieval Europe minus the wars and brutality. The architecture sooooo beautiful.
There was quite some war and brutality going on, there, too, you know. For starters, it was conquered by the Ottomans in the 15th and 16th century, captured by the Habsburg Empire and only gaining independence in the 19th century, at that time without Transsylvania and other regions. War has never been very far in Europe, this is probably the longest period most of Europe has lived in relative peace...
@@barvdw thats what he said, that Romania is now without war and brutality like in medieval times, but with the same architecture and natural vibe
My grandmother lives in a village in the Apuseni mountains- I live in the USA, but I've visited Romania, and her. Hands down, I cannot think of a more calming, naturally beautiful place. Its like living in a postcard.
yea the apuseni area is heavenly
Romania's landscapes are breathtaking! Can't wait to explore it all.

I love ROMANIA from BULGARIA
Never realized how gorgeous Romania is. This is all SO new to me. Extremely underrated country!
Romania is not all
Dracula and Dracula's castle...
Romania is home to many beautiful castles and medieval fortresses, astonishing landscapes, fascinating traditions and one of the best cuisines in the world. Romania is one of Europe’s most diverse countries. There are more different kinds of environments and wildlife to see in Romania than anywhere else on the continent.
You can easily learn more by watching other travelling vlogs or even travelling there yourself. Romania is a great destination for tourists, not to mention extremely cheap compared with the other countries in Europe.
I went as a German volunteer to many countries and all over Europe but I think Romania country side is beautiful, it truly makes you feel like in one of those magic ferry tales. The energy of the land is so healing with awesome spring water and such down to earth people. I can only hope Romanians is going to keep it like that without turning it into some hotel or large tourist developments that will kill the ecosystem because Romania is the only country in Europe now with virgin forests and natural beauty. I know that are a lot of Bangladeshi returning or moving back to Romania and I am buying a house in one of those villages but it looks like the price is going up every year. 10 years ago you could buy land and a house for about 5.000 Euros now you can not find anything for under 30.000 I found something in that area which is beautiful and hope that bureaucratic system get better. Cheers to all Romanians from Germany

Romania is a nice country with nice people living there. Greeting from Bulgaria to our best and respected neighbor! I have Romanian friends, with some my family meets multiple times a year; the parents are friends, the kids too.
I hope one day will be able to visit Romania. So far, have not had the chance. Many Romanians visit Bulgarian sea and mountain resorts. Usually, they come with their cars, often these are family visits.
Good luck with building better lives and better country! Often our countries go parallel, and if one is doing good, the other one does too.
I was in Romania July and it's is a beautiful country. People are friendly...I would love to go back someday...
Make sure you don't go after October when it gets nasty. I mean cold rains, low temps (not bad-mouthing - I'm from there but live in the US). November usually brings freezing temps and snow.

It is a beautiful country and I loved the nature and the oldness of the country. Espacially the churches. There were small tiny churches around every city, and they were painted magneficantly.

One of the countries that always has been underestimated by the west europeans and I have heard only bad things for our neighbours. The movie is good and represents Romania in more objective way. I have only good impression from Romania and people there and i think in future that bad opinion will change, because that is one really old culture and country.
Romanians don't forget that your ancestors are dacians and should be proud!
I'm saying that because ours are the ancient tracians and we have same roots and unfortunately at the moment we share almost same destiny, but that's gonna change in future! I'm sure:)!

The architecture is wonderful, from the rural buildings to the city ones, and I really would like Romania to be kept a very special secret. Don't tell anyone else how wonderful it is!!!

One little thing....at 10:30 about Tepes. We don't use the word "infamous" but...famous. Whereas he may have been very tough (sadistic according to some), we see him as a great leader, that defended his country and his culture/religion against the Ottoman Empire bent on imposing Islam. That is why our vision about Tepes`s legacy is mostly positive. We say that he had to be that way to deter the Ottomans, scare them away beyond any thought of returning. Which he did and for which we are.... grateful. Cheers
Hmm I'm not sure if that is the majority view though.
Long live King Vlad!🙌 Never to be forgotten!
@ Jack S Yes Jack I can assure you that it is the view of the majority of the Romanians .
The Wallachiens of the time had to face and deal alone with the powerful Turkish empire.There were only empty promises of help from others. Dracula's (Vlad the Impeller) brother and further (the Country ' Domnitor' ) were assassinated in a plot set up by the country big Landlords and Turkish Sultan. HE could trust no one from the start. HE wanted only
the best for his country. At the time and before him, the Europe
had seen similar cruelty although not at that scale.
Only in the past 30 years we witnessed the mass killing of innocent people on false pretence or ' false flag' by bombing and ' collateral killings' several countries
and the majority of us in the West and even less in the East did not go to the street to protest , we are democrats by interest only.
What is worst still, now more false
flags are plotted for possible more
mass killings. Find a difference?
Ok one difference: killing by hand vs killing by bombs; one by one vs
mass killings; thousands vs millions. They were in the 16th century we are in 21st century ,
and educated DEMOCRATS.

Those castles are more genuine as any of our german castles. Neuschwanstein and Hohenzollern Castle are just Hollywood compared to these romanian castles! So beautiful.
@mkmm60 - I have visited those 2 castles you mentioned and I could say that they are more Western Europe style than our Peleș Castle built by German artisans in the XIX century as mentioned in the documentary movie.
That is not western style. Castles are fortified buildings from the medival times to protect their inhabitants. Those two castles were both build in the 19th century as a romantic reconstruction of a "real" castle. Burg Eltz is a real german castle.
mkmm60 -
1 - What "romanian castles" first of all ? Bran and Peleş are built by Germans.
2 - Hollywood inspired from the German castles, notably Neuschwanstein Castle.
3 - Peleş is a "Hollywood" like castle too as well as Eltz Castle.
4 - Hunedoara Castle is also inspired from the German style (Gothic) = Western Europe style.
5 - if they are not "Western Europe style", what style do they are ?
6 - Eltz Castle looks pretty much as Neuschwanstein Castle.
Neuschwanstein was build 1870 and had the first telephone in Germany. Hohenzollern castle was build 1850. At that time most knights were long gone. Burg Eltz was build before 1600. This one is medieval. I would call castles romanian, when they are located in romania. Of course they could have been build by germans.
mkmm60 -
Medieval Age : 395 - 1453 = old Burg Eltz is a medieval castle, but an Early Modern Age castle (1453 - 1789 (the French Revolution) when the new parts have been added to it 1490-1540.
395 - the split of the Roman Empire in East and West
1453 - the Fall of Constantinople on May 29, 1453.
1870 & 1850 = Late Modern Age (period) = 1789 - 1945.

I'm a brazilian proud romanian's descendant and the culture there is very rich. I was planning to go to Romania in 2020 but with the pandemics it got delayed. Hope I can live in Romania at least for a while by the end of 2022. The more I know about Romania, the more I love it.
If you still plan on moving I would advise against going for Bucharest, as a person who grew up there. Transylvania is much better, more beautiful, natural, people are nicer, and the perfect place would be a civilized and clean town, maybe at altitude. Sinaia is a great city with some of the most beautiful natural places around it for example.
@@BltchErica Sinaia is not in Transylvania.
@@RaduRadonys I know, but the Carpathians and the general area round them and Transylvania are gorgeous and are all fairly similar, completely different from Bucharest.
God bless Romania 🇷🇴
Love you bros and sisters, from Serbia ❤️
✌✌
😃🙋♂️!
Omg, this video made me thinking of coming back home, lived in UK in last 5 years but I never felt like my place is here.
Love you Romania !! ❤💛💙
I i'll visit ur beautiful country.from Indonesia.
No place like home mate
My best friend is from Romania. She is a lovely person with such a kind & generous personality. She gave me a bunch of IRIS CDs. She knows the singer from the Romanian band IRIS! I love them. Great songs! Not sure how she met Domnul Christi? She has all these pictures with her & him. She has been & is a great friend to me. How COOL is that ?!?
I like Romania, i go to Romania with the Truck and i like it, great culture, food, girl 😂
Greetings from Croatia
This video made me to be more proud and happy to be romanian 💙
Beautiful is my Romania , Beautiful are their people , tasty is the food warm are the hearts
Verament e.
I dream one day ill visit to Romania, the beautiful places, historical castles, the streets, and mostly the beautiful people greeting from the country of Bangladesh in south asia.
Just a stunning place, and lovely people. The dictatorship was so awful for them.. Greetings from Pennsylvania.
România 🇷🇴 is so beautiful I can’t wait to visit. I’ve never been but my dad was born there in Bucharest and he and his family he had 9 brothers and sisters plus his mom and dad were the first family ever allowed to leave by Nicolae Ceausescu and his communist regime. It was a big deal at the time and people gathered at the airport to see if it were true and it happened because the United States Secretary of State was on a visit in the early 70’s and put pressure on him or something and all 12 of them granted asylum in America first in Chicago and then they made their way out here to California. I’m so blessed. I’ve never been to visit and I’m in my late 20’s now. I want to take my family including my cousins and visit. I still have family out there. I wonder if I would qualify for an EU passport lol anyways just wanted to share with UA-cam. Thanks for this awesome piece Rick.
Wow, such a interesing life
RaulLK
Oh yes and so much more interesting and dramatic events that I didn’t list and it mostly all happened in Italy where they had to live for 2 years before finally being allowed to fly to America.
@@erockstoenescu6171 It's better that they left Romania, trust me. It was extreme poverty after the revolution. I live in Romania, the things changed in positive ways, we developed a lot since the 2009 crysis but the coruption hurts
You definitely would qualify for Romanian citizenship as long as you can show your father was born in Romania. Only one parent has to be born in Romania for offspring to get Romanian citizenship, which would ultimately get you a passport.
My family left Romania in 83. My cousin said that it got really bad thereafter we left. I'm thankful to God above that we got out when we did.
One of the most remarkable and interesting Rick Steves programs. I would rather live in a community that is closer to earth with things being made by hand. A balance of modern and traditional is what I think is most rewarding.
Some of the most beautiful people reside in eastern Europe.
Why don't you move here?There's plenty of nature,peace and quiet in Romania!
My childhood best friends had a Romanian father, and I loved hearing stories about his upbringing in the country. With love from the Pacific Northwest, USA
Rick Steve's presents a very well informed narrative of Romania both now and past. Very well done. Makes me want to visit there. Thank you.
Love romania from greece
GR💙RO
Love Greece the same our Ortodox brothers ♥️♥️♥️
Χαχα γεννήθηκα Ελλάδα,αλλά είμαι Ρουμάνος,και ξέρω να μιλάω και τις δύο γλώσσες!
Im just going to say this in romanian:
Dumnezeule mare,prezentarea asta e așa de frumoasă și bine făcută m-a făcut să plâng, îmi iubesc țara mea si a tuturor fraților românii ,si am văzut mult multe prezentari de genul,dar acesta m-a facut să mă ridic in picioare și să aplaud furtunos cu lacrimi in ochi.
Mă bucur enorm că un străin din altă țară și-a luat din timpul lui și a venit în România să îi facă o prezentare așa frumoasă, din toată inima și sufletul meu îți mulțumesc!!!!😍♥🇷🇴
Now for the english people:
Good god,this presentation is so beautifull and so well made it made me cry,l love my and all of my romanian brothers' country,and l've seen many other presentations of romania ,but this one just made me stand up and clap loudly with tears in my eyes.
You've made me so happy by making this,and the fact that somebody from another country took time to come here and do a presentation of it although it has a bad image in europe,but l thank you very much!😍♥🇷🇴
Hei, caută-l pe Mark Wiens cel care face videouri legate despre mâncărurile din diferite țări, a ajuns si in România, ai să rămâi șocată de ce uimit a rămas 😍😍

@@thunderssound afwan
Much more freedom in Romania than in Saudi Arabia,anyways you have such a beautiful country there full of historic places!
@@vladodobleja748 yea i agree 😁
This video makes me want to visit Romania. It seems like a facinating area.
Elaine Schildmeyer It is. You are welcome to visit and enjoy.
Ok
It is, and pretty affordable, too. Not sure about direct flights, but if you fly to somewhere in Western Europe, there are generally budget flights to Romania with Wizzair, Ryanair and the likes, as quite some Romanians have left the country to work, and demand for cheap flights is quite high, so you might want to visit Dublin for a day or 2, which has often quite reasonably priced flights from North America, and take a Ryanair flight to some place in Romania after.
Outside of the main cities, you might have a hard time finding someone speaking English, though. Most younger people have at least some knowledge of English, but the older generation generally doesn't. And the better English is spoken, the more expensive it tends to get... But the people are friendly, and using hand signals, you can make your intentions quite clear, even if I always advise people to at least learn to say 'I'm sorry, I don't speak your language', 'hello', 'thank you' and the likes when visiting a country,. It comes across as a little rude when just assuming they will, even if that's the case. If you have some French basics, you might pick up some words when reading, as Romanian is a Romance language, but there is still a big difference.
